Phrenology Project

Look at the following resources, both the main pages and the links to which they lead you:

• A pro-phrenology site
• A phrenology as quack phenomenon site
• The psycograph
• A balanced site looking at some of the contributions of Gall to the field of brain localization.

Having looked at all this, what is your view of phrenology? Does it contribute to or detract from the study of brain localization? Was phrenology historically important? What is the philosophical underpinning for the study of brain localization? How well established is the study of brain localization?
